Question

(HELP PLEASE)
Given the equation of a line in standard form, Ax+By=C with B not equal to 0, which of the following represents the slope of this line?
A. m=-B/A
B. m= A/B
C. m= C/B
D. m= -A/B

I do not think its C.

Answer 1

Ax is your slope.

That means you have to move this to the other side so you get

by=c-ax

Whatever the value of y is, -ax must be divided by by.

Answer 2

by BY<<y

Answer 3

Example. Let's say it was

5y+10x=5

You would move the the x to the other side, right?

5y=5-10x

To get your actual slope, 5y can't be 5y, it must be 5. So you divide 10x by 5.

y=1-2x

Answer 4

so it would be -A/B?

Answer 5

I believe so, yeah.

Answer 6

Thank you.
